Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and related molecular mechanisms, investigating the impact of environmental factors and chemical exposures on DNA integrity and cellular function. Research includes the evaluation of DNA damage and repair pathways, the development of in vitro and in silico genotoxicity testing methods, and the assessment of potential risks from pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials, and natural compounds. The scope also encompasses the interplay between genetic factors and environmental exposures in relation to human health, including cancer development and aging.
